As the Taunus Nachrichten wrote so beautifully in 2017:
In the last few weeks and months, maybe even years, some strollers have rubbed their eyes - a piece of forest on the Gundelhardt between the forester's house and the inn has become a fairytale forest, a magical forest. The magicians have their origins in the Villa Kunterbunt on Frankfurter Straße with Silke Offermann, who annually gathers a lively crowd of boys and girls here in the first week of the big vacation to experience and create art in nature. But not to be confused: a few meters further on there is also paint on wood. Perhaps they were foresters, not the magic forest children of Villa Kunterbunt, who worked here, but the foresters who marked their harvest with numbers and lines. Or is this also a fairy tale?

Have you heard of the magic forest in Kelkheim, where Snow White lives next to Rapunzel, the robber Hotzenplotz and the dwarfs? Beautifully painted trees with all sorts of fairy tale characters.
